Are Bank Stocks Undervalued? Seizing Opportunities by Leveraging Additional Investment Funds

Despite the recent rise in bank stocks, some analysts say they remain undervalued when considering medium- to long-term earnings and capital ratios. As valuation is now being based on 2026 earnings, target price levels have been raised, but the current average price-to-book ratio (PBR) is still assessed to be far below a normalized level.

The recent strength is seen as more of a fundamental re-rating than a one-off event. Analysts say this is being driven simultaneously by stronger shareholder return policies, restored confidence in capital ratio management, and expectations for improvements in net interest margins and fee income. As the valuation gap with overseas banks persists, some see bank stocks as a relatively stable investment alternative in a volatile market, supported by dividends and low valuations.

Meanwhile, interest in stock loans is growing by the day. Investors who do not want to miss rare investment opportunities are turning their attention to stock loans, which allow them to use more funds for stock purchases.

Another advantage of stock loans is that, even if investors using margin or credit trading face forced liquidation due to a sharp stock price drop, they can simply switch over without providing additional collateral or selling their holdings, and then wait for a rebound.
